    I normally like both and it would be a hard decision, However the slicks on the car are too wide,......:) ( Yes,... I said too wide), Maybe some pie crust slicks that were a little narrower would trip my trigger on this one,...... but given just the two options,... I would go with the Firestones, and save these slicks for a straight axle g***er

    The best picture you got up there is the 3/4 front shot with the slicks, the car has a lot of angles distracting from headers or tires on the profile shot.

    I went with the stones...

    As far as the headers go its just like the tires basically. The slicks give the car a different look than the stones do. So a simple swap of the headers will give this car a different appearance. Personally I think a pair of lake style headers will give the car the better look. But just go with the owners opinion becase as long as he is happy thats all that matters....

    I like the slicks better, personally. Perhaps some headers similar to these. A little overdone, I suppose with the T-bucket crowd. Maybe too "gold chainer" for your rat rodding client, I don't know. Not knocking the guy, I wish I had a '30s body myself.

    Yep, I like the stones too. And, yes, I think the car has a great look that could be really nice with some different headers and some more traditional breathers. Very unique ride.
